The Regiment was raised in Scotland, and it is said= that the “King’s Crest” was then conferred upon it.

It was commonly known at Quebec, 1759, as “Wolfe’s Own,” and it now wears a black worm in the lace as an expression of sorrow for his death.

It was nicknamed “The Cauliflowers” from its facings; also “The Lancashire Lads” from its county title.
